I really like the idea of a steel tiger, it’d probably look really awesome. {Maybe there’s a pre-evo of a tiger cub, that’d be so adorable!}

If Mijumaru’s final evo is a big shelly otter, I will like die, I’d HATE that -__-

I’m not asking if they’re entirely false or not, we’ve established already that the source seems somewhat credible.

I’m asking if the source has any idea of the typings of the Pokemon?

Hi, I love your site.
Thought maybe I could help with the meanings of the alleged names for these new pokemon.

The name for Mijumaru’s evolution may also be related to the word ‘yuudachi’, which means sudden rain in the afternoon.
It could be a combination of that and ‘udatsu’, which is a part of the roof/wall in traditional Japanese houses made to prevent fire from spreading.

Also, another interpretation for the name Rakkobushi could be ‘rakko’ (otter) and ‘kobushi’, which means fist (the same kanji is used for ‘ken’ in ‘Tekken’ the fighting game).
That further cements the idea that Mijumaru’s evolutions will have Fighting as their secondary type.

Tororoiya may be a reference to Tlaloc, the god of weather in Aztech myth (which is romanized ‘torarokku’ in Japanese) but this kind of goes against the statement that this pokemon is a steel type… It would make more sense if it was water or electric type (weather = rain, thunder).

Well I sure do hope the rumors about Tsutaja are correct, because a Grass/Electric starter sure would be an interesting Pokemon to use.

Also, do you have any idea what are some of the possible typings of any of the Pokemon your source mentioned?

Nope, I’m saying that if this guy was just trying to see how much attention a rumor he made up could get he wouldn’t have mentioned another rumor that we all thought was false.

So to me, that gives it a little bit of credibility.

So are you saying that this information isn’t good at all?

Hopefully Oha Suta, CoroCoro, Pokemon Sunday, etc will leak something and one of the names will either be right or wrong.

I’m kind of wondering if it is true, I was surprised that he said the other names from the GameFAQs info were true even after the Kuromori snafu. If he were trying to make believable bullshit he probably wouldn’t have gone off of the rumor that everyone pretty much discredited after the Koromori screenshot leaked.
